Counselling and Therapy in Hove

In a private room at Intergen House on Western Road in central Hove. The office sits on Western Road in central Hove, a few minutes' walk from Palmeira Square and the seafront, and a short bus ride from Hove Station. Every service is also available by secure video across the UK, so you can meet from any private space in Hove or blend the two.

Almost nobody who asks that turns out to be wasting anyone's time. Most of this work concerns ordinary difficulty rather than emergency: tiredness, dread, a life that looks fine and feels hollow. If it is bothering you enough to read this, it is enough to bring to an hour.

One session is fine and costs £80 for the hour, with £100 and £120 available for ninety and one hundred and twenty minutes. You pay per appointment, nothing in advance, and the initial 15-minute consultation is free. There is no course to sign up to.

It varies and I cannot promise a figure. It is the free NHS Talking Therapies service for the city, you can refer yourself without a GP appointment, and the work is time-limited and structured. Many people put themselves on the list and start privately while they wait.

Sometimes, yes. People who are unwell, working odd hours or finding the front door difficult often prefer video, and the hour is not diminished by it. Living nearby simply means you have both options easily available and can move between them as the weeks require.

Comfortable surroundings do not do much for how a person feels inside them, and a calm town can make the contrast sharper. It is a common thing to bring. We would look at when it started, what changed around then, and what has quietly gone missing from your week.

Most likely, yes. The room is on Western Road, within walking distance of much of central Hove, Brunswick and the lawns, and there is no waiting room. You arrive straight to your appointment. When a walk in does not suit, online video sessions are always available.

Begin with a free fifteen-minute call, then walk in to Intergen House, 65-67 Western Road, minutes from Palmeira Square and Church Road. Buses along Western Road and Church Road stop close by, with on-street parking nearby, though most Hove clients find it an easy stroll from home.

Sessions are £80 for an hour, £100 for ninety minutes and £120 for two hours, after a free fifteen-minute consultation. Free NHS talking therapies are available through your GP or self-referral, but waits can be long, so many Hove clients prefer to begin privately and locally without delay.

Being in Hove, most clients simply walk in, but online sessions by secure video are there for busy weeks, illness or travel, and they are just as confidential. Evening appointments help around work, and you can freely mix walking in with meeting from your own front room.
